Cycle Servers and Grid Engine

Accessing your home directory from a Unix/Linux host is as simple as logging in. You may log in remotely from any host using a secure protocol such as SSH2. For Windows users, PuTTY is recommended and can be downloaded for free. For Mac users, you can use the terminal (found under Applications -> Utilities).

There is an instance of the Sun Grid Engine software that is used to help faciliate running multiple jobs on the openlab. Please see our SGE page for more information.
